Treasure Hunt Clues

[Poppycat]

We have a refillable advent calendar and each day the kids get a Heroes, choc coin or something similar. At weekends I’ve led into bigger things like fluffy Christmas socks or Christmas activities like chocolate bark or cinema trips etc by doing a treasure hunt. The clues have been getting more cryptic as they’ve got older and last night’s taxed my worn out brain.

Can you help? Think basic/usual generic hiding places for bits of paper as obviously you won’t know what we have in our house!

Inbetween the plastic bag and cardboard in a box of cereal.
Taped to the inside of a curtain, the inside of any cupboard door, or drawer, underneath a piece of furniture.
Underneath a sofa or chair cushion.
Inside a cushion cover.
In the hollow bit of a clock hanging on the wall.
Inside a pan, or shoe, or ornament.

Thank you.. some good ones there.

I’m looking for the clues to the locations. Eg Bread Browner rather than toaster etc. No good at cryptic crosswords so need some help

We always do a treasure hunt at Easter, and this year instead of written clues leading to the bits of paper, I took obscure photos around the house for them to work out. Each piece of paper had a letter on it and when they had them all they had to rearrange them to work out where the actual gift was hidden. It was a lot easier for me, and harder the boys!
